  The SAP error message WV381 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display the sales price for a specific distribution chain. This error typically arises in the context of sales and distribution (SD) processes when a user attempts to access pricing information that they are not authorized to view.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) to ensure that they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for accessing sales prices.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to pricing (e.g., V_TVAK, V_TVAP, V_TVAP) are included in the user's role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
